Notes:
Rev 21:1
Rev 17:1, 15
Ps 69:1-4
 
1:1-2 Preface: initial conditions before Day 1
‘Heavens (sky) and the Earth (land)’
Earth/land was formless and void (2)
Spirit (Ruach) was hovering over the waters
1:3-5: Day 1: Light and Darkness
‘And God said’ (3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 28, 29)
Separates the light and the darkness
1:6-8: Day 2: Sea and Sky
1:6: ‘Let there be an expanse’ (firmament): basic idea is ‘spreading out’
1:7 Waters below the expanse from waters above it
1:8 Expanse: ‘heaven’ or ‘sky’
1:9-13: Day 3: Land, Sea, Vegetation
1:9 Dry land and seas formed
1:10 Land called ‘earth’: this is the last time God names anything
1:11: Vegetation: (only 2 kinds of vegetation: cp 1:29-30)
1:12 ‘According to their kind’
 
1:14-19: Day 4: Light Bearers in the Heavens
1:14: ‘Let there be lights/luminaries’: use of ‘greater light’ and ‘lesser light’: are probably an attempt to avoid the names ‘sun’ and ‘moon’; which were used for various deities
 
1:20-23: Day 5: Sea animals and Birds
1:21: 2 kinds of creatures live in the water:
Large: ‘great sea monsters’ tannin: also used of sea creatures who opposed God (Ps 74:13-14; Isa 27:1; 51:9)
Smaller fish
 
1:22-23: God blesses them: ‘Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the seas . . . earth’
 
1:24-31: Day 6: Land animals and Man
1:24: 3 categories of land animals
‘Cattle’: large quadrupeds which are domesticated
‘Reptiles’: lizards, snakes
‘Beasts’: corresponds with the Heb. ‘living thing’: every kind of wild animal
 
1:26: Creation of man
Change from ‘let there be . . .’ to ‘let us make . . .’
Repetition of ‘God created man . . . He created them . . . male and female He created them’
 
Addition of ‘subdue and rule over’
‘Let us make man in our image’
‘Let them rule’: After spelling out man’s relationship with God, Gen 1 now explains man’s relationship with the rest of creation

‘It was very good’
 
2:1-3: Day 7: Rest  
2:1-3: completed
